One-of-a-Kind Journals

These are my babies..my special 1-of-a-kind books! Some of the “latches” I am using on the books were originally icebox hinges that I have cut a slot into in order to use it as a hasp! ALL of the icebox hinges are vintage and are typically over 60 years old. These are matched up with antique padlocks that all come with a working key. Some of the books have door hinge closures that are vintage, and typically were made in the 1890’s or earlier…I don’t use reproductions! All of my hardware is attached to the leather with hand-hammered copper rivets by me!
